Serial number in software not the same as in back of phone - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys.
I did yesterday the swap from yakjuxw to yakju and today i wanna check if imei number etc stayed the same.
Imei number is prectly the same as inside the phone behind the battery,but the serial number is different.
I dont know if this was before te swap to.
Anyone has a clue?

I also have mis-matched serial numbers.
Does anyone have an answer? If not, could someone at least check to see if the serial number listed under Settings is the same as the one printed on a sticker under the battery.
I bought my Gal Nex used, and don't know the history. From build.prop, it shows yakjuux.

That's pretty interesting I looked at my serial number and it also differs from that on the back of my phone.

[Q] [Question] R800X IMEI

IMEI or whatever it is. But, I think I found mine.I know R800X uses MEID but I an IMEI came up.
Go on Omnius, and Identify the phone.
Is that the MEID but it's showing as IMEI. What it is?
I find it very unlikely that it'd show an IMEI instead of a MEID on an R800x. IMEI is limited to GSM phones
Ill compare the codes when I get homw

If there are letters, it's a MEID.

Serial number

This may be a really dumb question, but where is the serial number on the Epic 4G Touch (Sprint)? The battery compartment has a few numbers, but I don't think any of them are the serial number (at least one is a MAC address).
The serial number is on the box it came in. Good luck

[Q] Serial number vs IMEI

Hi
I have had problems with my phone. HTC agreed to swap it for a new phone. I received the 'new' phone today. It has a different IMEI number but the same serial number, is it the same phone?
Thanks
My guess is that they just replaced the mainboard

[Q] Help with imei number

I purchased a phone off CL. I tried to put a SIM card in but it doesn't recognize one. So i realized the IMEI number on the back does not match the IMEI number in android OS. It doesn't say 000000 or one of those fake IMEI 049 numbers. It just has another IMEI number. My question is, is there a way to modify the numbers to match the IMEI number i have on the back of my phone?
I actually didn't know it didn't match until i sent it to samsung to fix. I thought it was just a problem with the SIM tray but they stated that the IMEI numbers don't match. As a result, they just sent my phone back without fixing anything.
Please help me out. It's on stock rom and not rooted
Again.. the phone is not blacklisted.. I want to change the IMEI number (software) shown in android OS to match the IMEI number (hardware) that i have shown on the back of my phone. I don't know why it's not the same.
Thanks for your help
when phones are refurbished, they change the imei number so its probably just a refurbished phone. Leave the imei alone. Im pretty sure the imei doesnt affect the phone recognizing the sim card anyway, but i could be wrong on that

They do change the IMEI when they refurbish, but they also put a brand new sticker on it that shows the new IMEI. Also it's a different sticker than the one that comes on a new phone. It's a different size and it positioned differently. Makes it VERY clear if your phone is new or refurbished.
Aznn0, though you may not realize it what you bought is a stolen/blacklisted/insurance exchange/etc S4. It had a bad IMEI and the seller changed it (illegally) and then sold it to you without bothering to mention the device's history.
If you changed it to the IMEI listed on the back of the phone (And I am telling you in no undercertain terms that you should not!) I'd bet latge sums of money that the phone would go dead because the IMEI listed on the back is a blacklisted number.
So Samsung won't touch it ever again. They will never do a repair for you. If it breaks, you're on your own to fix it.
None of this is probably your fauly and I believe you didn't know what you bought. But it is what it is.
Regardless, asking questions about how to change an IMEI are expressly not permitted on XDA. I know you didn't know, so no hard feelings. But don't ask about how to change an IMEI here again.

yea they do put a new sticker on it, but allot of sellers on ebay/craigslist remove the sticker so that they can sell it as "new" and get a few extra bucks. most sellers assume that buyers wont ever find out which is probably true 90% of the time
Thanks for all your replies.
It's weird because I put in both the IMEI numbers listed from the back of the phone and the one listed in android and they came back clean. I used one of those free esn checker websites. I know they aren't 100% reliable but damn..
I thought matching the IMEI number would do the trick.
It sucks...
I'm having the exact same problem! Mine is an s4 active and when I called my phone service provider they didn't tell me that mine was blacklisted or anything either...
error 119 your mobile phone's imei number not match, plz help me
